Simba's Pride

Basic plot summary: At the end of the last movie, the lions faithful to Scar were exiled. Simba's daughter Kiara meets (and falls in love with) the exiled Kovu, who was chosen to be Scar's successor*. Of course, Simba doesn't like this, and neither does Kovu's mother Zira. Complications ensue.

I think this movie lost a lot of the "Africanesque" feel of the first one. I remember yurkhing at all the floaty red hearts in "Upendi".

* Well, everyone "knows" Kovu really ought to be Scar's son, but then Kiara would be falling in love with a cousin and Disney don't play that game. Similar fudges were in the first movie--see if you can figure out who Nala's father is.
